I had a lazily busy weekend, if that makes sense. We got together with lots of people, but did it all within the confines of our own homes so we didn’t have to really go anywhere. Friday night Randy came over and we watched DVD’s. Saturday we did a bit of shopping. Saturday night we had Ben and Sandy over (to his place) and we BBQ’d dinner, played games (Pictionary, Aggressive Uno, Monkey Ball) and had birthday cupcakes. And Sunday we got together with Marin, Roger, Chris, Pete, and Jeff for dinner, conversation and more birthday cake.<\/p>\n

All in all, a good weekend.<\/p>\n

And I didn’t even complain in this blog! But since you brought it up…..<\/p>\n

(oh wait, I brought it up. Never mind)<\/p>\n

Anyway, on Sunday night some of the guests were readers of my blog. And some light-hearted ribbing went on about how I piss and moan about my iPod. A lot. I admit it – I’m guilty. Another person commented about my recent post about anti-discrimination laws\u00a0(although that post wasn’t so much complaining as it was ranting or, worse, rambling).<\/p>\n

I started to wonder if I bitch too much on here. But then I started wondering why I blog in the first place. I mean, if I didn’t rant about politics, technology, people, religion, and, generally, societies ills, what else would there be to blog about? I mean, I don’t intend for this blog to have a completely misanthropic tone every day. And I do hope that it comes off as sarcasm more often than not. For example, I’m not completely<\/em> helpless with the iPod. I’m just lazy and don’t want to have to research solutions. And when I kvetch about politics, I often do it to play devil’s advocate to see if somebody can comment and sway my opinions in any way (it’s been known to happen).<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’ll try to lighten things up around here. How’s this for a start?<\/p>\n
